马歇尔自然保护区步行街
Jock Marshall Reserve Nature Walk
城市倡议：JMR自然步道是一条高架木板路，横跨马歇尔保护区（JMR）南部边界，提供莫纳什大学克莱顿校区中心与布莱克本路沿线地产之间的步行连接。由城市倡议组织设计并记录，由莫纳什建筑和房地产以及莫纳什设计审查小组监督，这座轻巧、优雅、价值200万美元的建筑让公众可以享受JMR，这是一个主要由生物科学学院使用的限制进入的丛林地区。JMR是一个很有价值的研究和教育机构，由动物学和比较生理学基金会主席Jock Marshall教授于1961创立。他是一个早期的环保倡导者，他提倡在校园里种植特色植物。JMR是校园内唯一残留的本土植被的家园，生态丰富。自然步道创造了一个新的步行校园入口，在布莱克本路具有很强的存在性，并允许保留JMR的教育和环境质量，同时允许学生、员工和公众进入和欣赏树冠层。
Urban Initiatives: JMR Nature Walk is an elevated boardwalk that spans the southern boundary of the Jock Marshall Reserve (JMR), providing pedestrian connectivity between the heart of the Monash University Clayton Campus and properties along Blackburn Road. Designed and documented by Urban Initiatives with oversight from Monash Buildings and Property and Monash Design Review Panel, the light weight and elegant $2M structure allows public enjoyment of JMR, a restricted access remnant bushland area used predominantly by the School of Biological Sciences. JMR is a valuable research and education facility, established by the Foundation Chair of Zoology and Comparative Physiology, Professor Jock Marshall in 1961. He was an early environmental campaigner who advocated for the characteristic native plantings on campus. JMR is home to the only remnant indigenous vegetation on the campus and is ecologically rich. The Nature Walk creates a new pedestrian campus entry with a strong presence on Blackburn Road, and allows the educational and environmental qualities of JMR to be preserved while enabling canopy level access and appreciation by students, staff and the general public.
克莱顿校区总体规划旨在挖掘JMR作为更大校园的宜居景观的潜力。城市倡议制定了JMR中级规划，这是一份远景文件，规划了未来10-15年内改善该场地的未来战略。与生物科学学院的协商表明，围栏和限制进入是保持场地教育价值的必要条件，保护区与其周围环境之间的接口处存在着真正的机会。该计划将JMR视为校园的“绿色肺”，将自然步道视为连通的“毛细血管”，为JMR制定了总体愿景。制定了指导原则和设计策略，以确保在对保护区敏感的生态性质和研究活动影响最小的情况下实现最大的公共利益。
The Clayton Campus Masterplan aimed to unlock the potential of JMR as an amenity landscape for the wider campus. Urban Initiatives developed the JMR Mid Level Plan, a visioning document that laid out the future strategies for enhancing the site over the next 10-15 years. Consultation with the School of Biological Sciences, made clear that fencing and restricted access are integral to maintaining the educational value of the site and that real opportunities lay at the interfaces between the reserve and its surroundings. The Plan developed an overarching vision for JMR as the ‘green lungs’ of the campus and the Nature Walk as a connective ‘capillary’. Guiding principles and design strategies were developed to ensure maximum public benefit with minimal impact on sensitive nature of the ecology and research activities of the Reserve.

从概念到完成，设计过程的所有阶段都考虑了视觉和物理影响。放样是围绕保留所有有价值的植被进行仔细规划的，并设计成分段，以便在场外组装并吊入保护区。”V'形中心柱允许一排基脚，以最大限度地减少占地面积。由于生物科学学院要求保留现有的铁丝网围栏，穿孔corten钢栏杆设计为在交叉点与围栏无缝连接，从而使围栏消失在下方。木板路是一个被设计为“全面”欣赏和体验的对象。穿孔栏杆面板和抽象树干围栏面板上的抽象细胞图案巧妙地借鉴了生物科学。在设计开发过程中，无人机摄影被用于绘制木板路穿过现有树冠的路径。这使得根据所需视图定制的图像能够与所有利益相关者进行快速有效的沟通，了解步行将如何与现有植被、相邻场地和居住学院互动。在木板路施工之前，渗漏的坝墙已经稳定下来，对敏感生态的影响最小，并且没有排放湖水。一条狭窄的沟渠用膨润土回填，以提供防渗屏障。
Visual and physical impacts were considered through all stages of the design process, from concept to completion. The set-out was carefully planned around the retention of all valuable vegetation and designed in segments to be assembled off site and craned into the Reserve. ‘V’ shaped central columns allow a single row of footings to minimise the footprint. As the School of Biological Sciences required the retention of the existing chain mesh fence, the perforated corten steel balustrade was designed to seamlessly meet the fence at crossover points in such a way that the fence disappears below. The boardwalk is an object that has been designed to be appreciated and experienced ‘in-the-round’. Abstract cellular patterning on the perforated balustrade panels and abstracted tree trunk fence panels subtly reference the biological sciences. Drone photography was used during design development to map the path of the boardwalk through the existing tree canopy. This enabled images tailored to the required views enabled fast and effective communication with all stakeholders as to exactly how the walk would interact with existing vegetation, and adjacent sites and residential colleges. The leaking dam wall was stabilised prior to the boardwalk construction with minimal impact on sensitive ecology and without draining the lake. A narrow trench was back filled with bentonite to provide an impervious barrier.
在整个项目中，包括生物科学学院、住宅服务、建筑和物业以及莫纳什体育学院，都对利益相关者的冲突需求进行了管理。与利益相关者合作，解决了与住宿学院的距离、与莫纳什坦和path网络的连接以及保护现有植被和围栏的需要。迅速变化的莫纳什景观和在布莱克本路实施议会共享道路需要不断协商。
The conflicting needs of stakeholders were managed throughout the project including the School of Biological Sciences, Residential Services, Buildings and Property and Monash Sport. The proximity to residential colleges, connections with the Monash Tan and path network, and the need to preserve existing vegetation and fencing were all worked through with stakeholders. The rapidly changing Monash landscapes and implementation of a council shared path on Blackburn Road required ongoing consultation.
自然步道提供了一个教育环境，改善了连通性，并提供了一个被动娱乐的场所。作为一条全通道的步行通道，有座位，可以欣赏到穿过湖面进入保护区的景色，这是一个远离繁忙的中央校园的安静沉思的空间。这两个平台包括座位、靠书的扶手、可坐轮椅的书桌和电源插座，以便于小组学习。通过在地面干扰最小的情况下创造JMR的公共体验，自然漫步为连接保护区和与其用户的合作提供了更多机会，并使生物多样性的当地生态系统得以进一步恢复。自然步道是一项独特的公共领域资产，它将莫纳什大学提升为创新前沿的世界级教育设施。JMR是一个校园设施，使莫纳什大学从竞争对手中脱颖而出。自然步道提升了保护区的公众形象和对其功能和价值的理解，并为大学提供了重要的经济、社会和文化价值。
The Nature Walk provides an educative environment, improved connectivity, and a place for passive recreation. As an all access pedestrian thoroughfare with seating and views across the lake into the Reserve, it is a space for quiet contemplation away from the busy central campus. The two decks incorporate seating, book leaning rails, wheelchair accessible desks and power points to facilitate group learning. By creating a public experience of JMR with minimal on ground disturbance, the Nature Walk invites greater opportunities for connection to the Reserve and collaboration with its users, and enables further restoration of biologically diverse local ecosystems. The Nature Walk is a unique public realm asset that promotes Monash University as a world class educational facility at the forefront of innovation. The JMR is an on-campus facility that sets Monash University apart from its competitors. The Nature Walk lifts the public image of the Reserve and understanding of its function and value and offers significant economic and social and cultural value to the University.
